Arts and Science-where students strive to become liberally educated. p College of Arts and Science aim A lecturer in chemistry gives students glimpse of the world of physical science. The aim of the College of Arts and Science is to see that tomorrow's physicist knows something of Chaucer and Mil- ton and that tomorrowis doctor can discuss the molding forces of the American Revolution, in addition to the techni- cal knowledge of their own field. This College is the basis for all others, it is here that students sample all aspects of education: natural sciences, and the humanities. It is 'fitting that this focal point is housed in the physical center of campus life, ,lesse Hall. Students come to Francis Quadrangle and climb the crooked steps of the red-brick building to the true center of educational activity at the University. The goal of the school is to give the cultural student the opportunity to 'cthink for himself. By providing a wide breadth of subjects, the student is able to go on to his area of specialization knowing he has the background of a liberal education. It is this liberal education that cannot be overempha- sized. lt is not a dabbling Q it is learning - the Browning version of the philosophy of striving or the mysteries of higher mathematics - so necessary to this day and age when depth of thought is often lacking. A unique feature of the College is the operation of the only non-profit film library in the State, financed by the Adult 'Education and Extension service. This service, avail- able not only to the members of the College but to others in the University, provides over 3,000 films for l0,000,000 people a year. The College of Arts and Science was founded in 1839, and is now under the leadership of Dean W. Francis English - a man who has done much to augment the facilities and quality of the College.
